Hello once again.

Just wanted to ask:

1) Can I install Apps2sd+ on top of your ROM, which already includes Froyo Apps2SD.

2) If so, where can I get the Apps2SD+ file and what possible benefits can I get from doing so

3) I understand that I will have to make ext3 partition through ROM Manager which will wipe my SD card. Can I just copy its contents on PC and re-copy it to SD later, insert into the phone and everything will work?

Thanks in advance. I am getting confused because there is tons of advice on the forums and it is difficult for a noob like me to work out what will work for my phone.
[Desire Android Development] :
1. Old style Apps2SD+ is already installed. Froyo Apps2SD isn't used but I can include 'InstallLocation Mod' which whill let you choose between Internal (Old style Apps2SD) and External (Froyo Apps2SD). I found it pointless (having both), so my ROM uses Ext3 to install apps to.

2. If it's already there, then you don't need to install it :).

3. Yes, just copy the contens and copy them back when your finished.
[Desire Android Development] talhamid:
Many thanks for the near-instant reply. A few more questions.

1) I am running 0.2 version of your ROM, haven't upgraded to 0.3 (being still new to this process I feel reluctant, plus backing up and restoring takes a lot of time). From your changelog and the fact that you REQUIRE Ext3 partition for 0.3 I gather that 0.3 version automatically enables installing Apps to SD card while 0.2 only enabled transfers of apps once installed. Is that correct?

2) If I do upgrade from 0.2 to 0.3, will I need to wipe/factory reset the phone?

3) I have not made Ext3 partition on my phone. Will do now though.

4) I need to be able to select install location before installing apps. Will 0.3 alone do it for me or will I have to have the installlocation mod as you said?

Thanks again
[Desire Android Development] :
1) Apps2SD+ is installed from v0.1+

2) You don't need to wipe

4) The ROM will install apps to Ext3
[Desire Android Development] talhamid:
Thanks, two last questions (for now)

1) Whar Is there in 0.3 that wasn't there in 0.2? Bug fixes or additional features?

2) In presence of ext3 partition, any app will go straight there by default?
[Desire Android Development] larbke666:
Can you share the background you use in your rom?
[Desire Android Development] :
1) Only fix in v0.3 is the bluetooth A2DP fix

2) Yes, they will.

Hello again. Many thanks, my phone memory problem seems to have gone for good. Is there any method to see how much space is remaining in the ext3 partition? Since phone apparently can't read it.

battery life is perfect i made one call and i have automatic mail and friendstream downloads and weather..and only 1%in the past 2 hours
[Desire Android Development] talhamid:
That's amazing. My battery life seems to be pathetic. All I can have is wifi on with mails and rss. Can't seem to last more than 8 hours with moderate to heavy usage. Any tips?
[Desire Android Development] :
8 hours of WiFi is quite good IMO. The new iPhone 4 manages 10 hours of battery life on WiFi (info from Apple, could be different in reality).

i use the 3g or hsdpa connection and not wifi because i have a internet plan with my provider..so its beacuse of that i have a better battery life

I'm a noob

I read through your thread and it seems to be a great ROM to use for Sense 2.2. The only problem for me is that I have no idea how to create an ext3 partition on my SD card. Thanks in advance.

***Ok I got the partition going, but how would I flash the ROM if i have clockworkmod on the phone?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] scrilla:
I have done some searching and didn’t come up with all the info I was looking for. Is there an app or tweak that allows auto stitching when you use the panoramic picture option on the device? My GF's Samsung takes great panoramic pics and stitches them together automatically. Whenever I try they always come out looking like crap because I can’t get them to line up very well on my TP2.

Thanks for any advice.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sgt. slaughter:
I was wondering if there is an app or way to get folders like they do on the iPhone. I just like the way how it shows you a tiny view of whats inside instead of a plain folder.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dglowe343:
Not too familiar with the iPhone, but there's one in the market call Apps Organizer. It let's you group apps into categories and use different icons you can download from the market. I used it with my G1 and it was great for having all your apps on the screen without the clutter.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sgt. slaughter:
I mean the Evo has folders already. But what I am looking for is to have the folder have a minimized preview of what app icons are in it, which is what the OS4 does on the iPhone.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gthing:
Press and hold your finger on the home screen and you'll see a window come up with shortcuts, widgets, folders, wallpapers, etc. Click folders.

You have a bunch of options - you can do folders with people, etc. For applications just hit "new folder."

The folder will appear on your desktop. You can now drag applications into it. To change its name, open the folder and click and hold the title.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sgt. slaughter:
Yeah This I know. Im not saying I want folders I want to see if theres a way to develop or if its already out have the folders operate like on the iOS4.0 with showing a preview of the folder.

Heres a pic
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dglowe343:
Apps organizer will pull up a small window with whatever apps you've put in that folder. You just have to configure everything yourself.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sgt. slaughter:
no different than the stock folders still. having to tap the folder to see whats in it is trivial even with the folders named.

Showing the icons like in that pic I posted above is what I'm going for.

Edit:

I just looked at Apps Organizer. I guess using it as a widget will do somewhat the same effect. Can you make it small though where it shrinks the icons down like in that pic I posted?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thenewguy821:
I may be missing something here, but it seems to me like the OP wants an iPhone. IMHO, if you can't remember that the game that you put in a folder is in the folder named games, or the song you put in a folder is in the Music folder, you probably shouldn't be putting things into folders. Why would you want a bunch of TINY icons on an already small picture of a folder, to show you what is inside?

I just don't understand why people buy an EVO, then ask for iPhone icons, iPhone style folders, iPhone ringtones, etc... Maybe someone can develop an app that will drop calls when you hold the phone with your left hand, and really give people that "iPhone experience"
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sgt. slaughter:
Um no I dont want an iphone in any way. I hate the controlled nature of that company and how they lock down there phones and handle everything as a whole. The android software is open which is great so we have the ability to add things that are great across all platforms and make them work on our device to an extent. There are things that they developed and did right and things like that we should try and get a handle on.

Its completely personal preference as if you like a cool icon for the folder or one like I described before. To each their own, everyone's different, thats life.

Its not so much I can't remember whats in the folder as it is I think that way of folders they use looks much better on phones.

I'm as anti Apple as it comes but asking if there is a way to get the way they handle folders ported over isn't a big deal. I guess when a iPhone game gets ported over to android you dont get it b/c it was on iPhone's before.....and thats just retarded
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thenewguy821:
Your comment is that you want the folders to look like the iPhone's because you don't want to have to open the folder to see what is in it. Now you say it is because it looks better. Which is it? I do agree, having customizable icons for the folder would look better, a Music note or guitar for a music folder, or a video game controller for a Games folder, etc.

Sorry if I insulted you, I was just making an observation. Why do people by a phone and try to make it something else? It is not just iPhone icons,ringers,etc.. There are plenty of threads about porting over Droid sound effects, icons, themes, etc.

I have no problem running a game or app on my EVO that was originally an Apple or Droid exclusive, I just don't feel the need to try to make my phone look like it is something it is not.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shadowhawk2020:
But that is the beauty of being on android, you can make your phone do things that personalizes itvthe way you want. I will not jump carriers for the latest and greatest phones. My plan is to good with sprint. But that doesn't keep me from liking the Droid x wallpaper, and bootscreen. It also doesn't mean that the iPhone didn't get some things right, the benifit of android is taking all the things you like that is out there and putting them together.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
People usually remember which folders they put stuff in.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aridon:
Right because how folders look us a make or break thing to push someone to the iphone. It was a good question op and I don't think anyone had built that into an app yet. Its a good idea though and something I may look into making.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sfox8:
I don't want to cause a bigger ruckus here but why is it that whenever someone asks for anything related to the iPhone, they get snarky retorts? I can understand if the OP was trolling or something but this was an honest question, and a good one at that.

Not everyone wants/needs an iPhone just because they ask for iPhone-esque aesthetics. If someone really wanted an iPhone that bad they would have bought one. We're all on this forum for a common reason and that's because we love our EVOs/Androids and want to make them better and fit our own personal tastes. Isn't that what Android is all about? Open source. Do anything with the device that YOU own, not some company. The simple fact is the iPhone is good at being pretty and some people like certain aesthetics that come with the iPhone, even if they hate everything else about it. The question about the folders was a good one. If you can't answer the question, then at least politely offer a suggestion to something similar/direct the OP elsewhere or just ignore the thread entirely.

To the OP: I understood what you meant. Yeah I think AppOrganizer is pretty close, but otherwise there's nothing I know of that does exactly what you're talking about. If you need help remembering what you put in the folder, maybe you could change the icon to something that depicts the basic theme of all the apps in that folder so it would be easier to identify.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SilverStone641:
come on guys! there's not reason to jump on the OP. he has a valid point. sometimes i forget what exactly i have in "Utilities" or even better "Stuff" it would be nice to, at a glance, see whats in those folders. it's a simple request that i wouldn't mind hearing the answer to.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigant262:
Good question OP, I was wondering the same thing. I really like the folders that OS4 uses. Pretty sure someone will do something to make the folders on Android look similar or something.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SilverStone641:
as far as consolidating apps, this is the best i've found?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s09rKiWfFF8

FolderOrganizer 0.99

it doesn't do the micro-icons, but it does keep all of your stuff in customizable folders.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Agent240913:
Hey op,

That was a awesome question, dont pay mind to those who start s*** over a simple question, i would love to get a folders that display the icons inside the folder (like the OS4). The icons android has are plain.

JBlaze -- Evo 4G
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sgt. slaughter:
Thanks! Yeah thats the beauty of Android. If anyone has an idea it can be done and doesn't have to be approved through some trivial process and then likely denied in the end.

I just really like the way they handle the folders. being able to peek into the folder without opening it up is cool, but also in the end I think it looks better for some situations. We can already make a folder look like whatever you want, but having it show like a preview of whats inside taking those icons and shrinking them like iOS4 does would be a cool option. Hell maybe even think of a way to make it better and offer different background colors for it and boarders and such. Again the beauty of Android is if you know what your doing there is a way to get whatever you want on there.........except for an updated PRI version on a rooted phone but thats a whole nother can of worms there and will likely be solved by one of the genius devs in due time.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sgt. slaughter:
Thanks, yeah I tend to not pay much mind to lil teenage kids
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thenewguy821:
I wasn't trying to shoot down the OP in any way, I was just making a comment, as to why so many people buy something, then try to make it into something else... I appreciate having the ability to customize our phones, I just don't understand the need to customize it to look like something it is not... I bought an EVO. I wanted an EVO, not an iplone, or a Droid. Sorry I upset so many people with my opinion.

Wow... Just because I said it SOUNDED like he wanted an iphone based on his comments... S
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sgt. slaughter:
Yeah b/c changing the folders to work the way they do on the iphone would be like having an iphone just b/c of that one small change. Why dont you comment on all the people that have the moto droid style lock bar instead of the htc evo stock one? What your saying in response to me just wanting folders is just like telling everyone to go get a droid instead of changing the lock bar on the evo to look like it.

I wasn't asking the thing to sync with itunes or facetime or have all the menu's like iphone has, just the folders.

Again, you obviously don't understand the reasoning behined Open Source. The reason you get open Source is to mod it and combine all the things you like from everything into one. It gives you the ability to put whatever you want in it. I assume you dont have your phone rooted with a custom rom installed, b/c if you did you would be wanting your phone to look like something it isn't.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thenewguy821:
Dude, Climb down off your cross, use the wood to build a bridge and get over it... I said I am sorry for hurting your feelings. Do you want me to mail you a tissue too?

I'll try this again. I am Sorry for offending you. I am also very sorry that I do not share your opinions.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sgt. slaughter:
no worries. like i said i dont let little teenagers hurt my feelings here brah. Just had to reply b/c you obviously act like changing 1 thing on a phone is against everything thats good.

Its one thing to not agree with it, and another to say the little change sounds like you should just get that phone. Hence I hope you are enjoying rocking your bone stock HTC Evo b/c anything else and you'd be a hypacryt.

Now back to seeing if we can get a Dev to work this out and get this worked into the Evo somehow. I'd do it but I seriously do not have the time to devote to the task and it wouldn't be nearly as clean as the work of the people that do it here.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thenewguy821:
Teenager? Not for quite some time. My son is barely still a teenager.

Bone stock EVO? Again, not quite. Been trying to figure out how to sync my FB pics with my phone list in CM6. Sense did it for us, I just need to figure it out now.

I never said customizing a phone is a bad thing, I made a comment, about your "HAS to be just like this" comment. THAT isn't "open source" either, that is "My way is the only way". In my opinion (and it is only an opinion) I wouldn't take a Mustang and try to make it look like a Camaro, so I still don't understand why someone would want to take a Superior EVO, and by changing the icons, make it look like an Inferior iphone. But again, that is just me.

You do to your phone what you want to, I will do what I want to. At the end of the day, we can both sit back with a beer and be happy that we are able to enjoy our phones OUR way, not the way some corporate A-hole thinks we should...

Please, let's get past this. I hope someone comes up with an app that will do what you want.

[Captivate General] Mark@RichardsEmail.Net:
I got my Captivate yesterday, and I love it (replaced a Fuze running 6.5). I use exchange with Active Sync, and got it all setup. BUT, the UI is pretty horrible.

First off, every folder I have shows up as a tab. Wait, not every folder, some folders DON'T show up, and others shows up that were deleted months ago.

Also, the Inbox only seems to show new emails, it won't show the history for the past 2 weeks (even though that is what I set it to), maybe it is just today's email... Other folders seem to show the history as I would

Is there a way to change the folders to a heirarchical view? Is there something I am missing on showing all my emails ?

Thanks,

Mark
[Captivate General] naplesbill:
There is a market app called TouchDown that offers full exchange functionality. It's a little hokey on the contact syncing but it handles mail, calendar, tasks and notes very well. There are also a few other replacement exchange clients.

The built in Exchange client is not well suited for people who like to manipulate folders and such on their phone. I personally do all those functions on my desktop. I'm not sure why you are seeing deleted folders though. It's possible you need to run some maintenance on your exchange mailbox.
[Captivate General] Mark@RichardsEmail.Net:
Thanks, I tried TouchDown last night, but couldn't get it to connect to my exchange server. I'll try it again.
[Captivate General] Drachen:
The deleted folders are probably still in your deleted items folder. I had the exact same issue, cleared my deleted items and the ghost folders disappeared. Exchange was definitely priority #1 for Samsung.
